Honestly,
I’m kinda miss Bali.
Back to my hometown about 2 months after explored Bali for 6months.
One of the best place I’d love to visit again is Uluwatu Temple. Some of my friends told me that is not worth to visit Uluwatu Temple
because it is hot and see nothing except the cliff. So, I wasn’t tended to visit
there until 2 weeks before I ended my journey in Bali.
At
the first, I was hesitated what time should I visit there because I afraid of hot
day. Then I decided to visit there at late afternoon about 4.30pm. When I
arrived there, I feel coooool. The temperature is cool and the attraction is
cool as well.
It
was crowded of tourist and domestic. I believe it is happening every day. There
is an entrance fee for adult domestic is Rp20.000/person and tourist is
Rp40.000/person. After buy the ticket, we have to wear “sarong” and a belt if
wear short pant or skirt because this is a holy place – Hindu Pura (temple).
There
is a Hindu Pura (temple) in the hill.
We have to walk through the crowded
stairs to reach the top. It was quite tight “traffic jam” at the stairs because
people would like to take photo from the stairs with background of stunning
waves hit the magnificent cliff. I I think only there the best position for
taking photo. Honestly, I was sat at there for about a half hour – magnificent
view with brace winds.
Please
note there is a lot of monkeys, beware of your eye glasses, hat, bag, mobile, etc.
If unfortunately your belonging is take by the monkey, please contact the staff
directly. They will help you to bargain with the monkey, maybe you have to
exchange it with money or something.
There
is Kecak dance show (Balinese traditional dance) every 5.30pm – 6.30pm with
ticket Rp100.000/person. I heard from others, this spectacular dance is perfectly match with the
stunning sunset. I think It would be perfect and romantic if I watch this show
with my beloved one next time if I visit Bali again. So, that's mean I must find a beloved one before visit Bali again. HAHAHA.
Note:
1) The best time arrive at Uluwatu Temple is before sunset about 4pm.
Distance from Kuta to Uluwatu about 1.5hour.
2) No transarbagita (public bus) to Uluwatu Temple.
3) If you take a cab, please ask driver to wait you (usually waiting fee is apply).
4) Please aware of monkey! Beware of your hat, glasses, mobile, etc.
5) Menstruating woman do not enter this holy place.
